KISS: Ace Frehley Beat Paul Stanley on IQ Test

08/09/2011.

(Rock News Desk) Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley reveals how, tired of feeling like he was being bullied and underrated, he sat an IQ test with Stanley to prove he was smarter than his bandmates thought he was.

Frehley tells The Morton Report: "I had an argument with Gene and Paul, who said that because they write most of the material, I wasn't very bright. I said, 'You'd be surprised how bright I am.'

"I bought these IQ tests and Paul and I took them. There was no fooling around – we timed it and went by the rules," he said. "Paul's IQ is 140, which is very good, near genius. Mine is 164, which is genius. I always knew I was brighter than the next kid; I was just bored." more on this story
